Liverpool edged out Crystal Palace with a 1-0 win at Selhurst Park on October 5, 2024, to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League. Diogo Jota scored the only goal of the match, marking his 100th start for Liverpool with a well-taken finish from Cody Gakpo’s assist. Liverpool dominated large parts of the game, but Crystal Palace showed resilience, especially in the second half.
A key moment in the game came when Liverpool's goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, suffered a hamstring injury and had to be replaced by third-choice keeper Vitezslav Jaros. Making his debut, Jaros made a crucial save late on to deny Eberechi Eze from equalizing for Palace. Despite the injury to Alisson, Liverpool held on to secure all three points, leaving Crystal Palace still searching for their first win of the season as they remain in the relegation zone.
Liverpool now lead the Premier League by a point, ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, heading into the international break.
